The eldest daughter-in-law is the last person who wants to get close to people in their family. It's too late to avoid her, but now, she actually takes the initiative to ask her to accompany her.
Change is a good thing. As long as the eldest daughter-in-law is willing to change, that's the best. She doesn't mind at all what the eldest daughter-in-law did before.
I was afraid that she was not truly repentant, but had other thoughts on her mind. Ms. Li was very worried.
The firewood on the ground was quickly chopped. Yun Xi washed her hands, looked at Mrs. Li and said, "Mom, let's go."
"Eh, okay."
Mrs. Li touched her pocket and suddenly felt uncontrollably panicked. She only had the wages she just paid today, which amounted to less than a hundred cash.
What should Xi Niang do if she likes something later and doesn't have enough money
Forget it, let’s talk about it after we go to town.
Li Shi bravely went out with Yun Xi. The village was quite far away from the town, and it took more than half an hour to walk to get there.
It's already noon now. If we stay in town for a while, we might have to take a night walk in the evening.
Li was worried that she didn't have enough money, and she was also worried that it would be unsafe for the two women if she came back too late at night.
But she never said anything. This was the first time that her eldest daughter-in-law went out with her since she got married. No matter how difficult it was, she couldn't refuse.
Yun Xi didn't know her worries, so naturally he didn't comfort her.
When we walked into the town, it was already afternoon, and there was no market today. Therefore, the quaint town only had a dozen or so pedestrians, which was not very lively.
Yun Xi went straight to the grain store, and only then did Li realize that she wanted to buy grain.
"Mother Xi, I still have enough whole grains at home to last for two days, why don't I buy it after two days?"
The clothes shop in the town had to rush to make a batch of ready-made clothes and recruit a group of people. She would go to work tomorrow and work quickly. After three or four days of work, she would probably earn more than 100 yuan.
Mrs. Li thought about buying food when the time came, but she actually wanted to keep the few copper coins in her hand.
Ji Jiuye was almost out of medicine, and the family couldn't afford to have no money left.
"Mom, I have to buy something sooner or later. I will buy something good today to improve the food for everyone."
As soon as Yun Xi finished speaking, Li's expression changed instantly.
This, she still needs to buy something good, so with her little copper...
Yun Xi was keenly aware of the change in Li's face, and suddenly understood her embarrassment.
She smiled softly and said, "Mom, I want to eat it myself, so I have to pay for it."
"Ah," Mrs. Li looked up at her and said awkwardly, "Mother Xi, isn't mother..."
She suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't speak any more, her face turned red. My wife wanted to eat something good, but she had to pay for it herself. The old Ji family was really unkind.
Li gritted her teeth, took out all the remaining dozens of copper plates, and gave them to Yun Xi.
"Mother Xi, that's all I have. I'll give it all to you. Don't think it's too little. Wait until tomorrow and I'll go out to work. I've already received a job..."
Yun Xi looked at the copper in her hand and her face was stunned. Of course she didn't think it was too little, she just didn't expect that the Ji family was already so poor.
She smiled and handed the coin to Mrs. Li, "Mom, I have money. You can take this money. When you go out to work, you can't leave not a single coin with you."
It seems that it’s time to seize the time to make money.
Li refused and refused to accept it, saying that she went out to work and did not spend money, so she did not need to keep any money on her.
Seeing that others were looking at her frequently, Yun Xi had no choice but to take it back for the time being and wait until she got home.
After entering the shop, Yun Xi bought ten kilograms of polished rice, ten kilograms of white flour, five kilograms of oil, a bag of sugar, and some seasonings. When she was paying, she saw the wrapped pastries, and she suddenly thought of the two people at home. My kid, I just grabbed a pack.
So many things cost a total of almost two taels of silver. Yun Xi paid the money happily, but Li's heart ached extremely when she saw it.
These things Yun Xi bought have not been seen by her family since Ji's father died.
Even when Ji's father was alive, he never bought so much.
Yun Xi could carry dozens of kilograms of things by herself, but these things were scattered and difficult to carry. In addition, she wanted to buy something and was worried that it would be too dark when she went back. Feeling uneasy, I spent fifteen cents to rent a bullock cart.
Seeing the bullock cart, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache, but it was Yun Xi who paid the price, so she couldn't say anything.
After putting her things on the bullock cart, Yun Xi asked the driver to take her to the meat stall on the roadside.
It was getting late, and the meat was actually not as fresh as in the morning, but Yun Xi didn't care about this. Everyone in the Ji family was either rice soup or wild vegetable soup. It was good to have meat. Who cares about whether it is fresh or not.
She bought five kilograms of lean meat and five kilograms of pork belly, and asked the boss if he had any big bones. Ji Jiuye injured his leg and drinking some bone soup would be of great benefit.
In this era, common people do not like bones and meat. When buying meat, they would like to pick out any bones in the meat. The bones cannot be sold, so the most indispensable thing for stall owners is bones.
Yun Xi directly bought all the bones from the boss's stall, including the meat, which cost a total of more than 300 Wen.
Mrs. Li saw that she was just buying meat, but also bought so many bones. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but whispered in her ear, "Mother Xi, there is no meat in the bones. No one usually wants this." of."
The implication is, if no one else is buying it, why are you buying it
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Mom, I know, bones are cheap. I bought so many and the boss only charged ten cents."
Mrs. Li sighed, love is cheap, but cheap goods are not good. There is no meat in them. If you buy them back, you can only feed them to the dogs.
That’s all, it’s inevitable that young people won’t know how to live. You’ll find out later.
After returning home, Yun Xi paid the driver, who drove the ox cart away. Yaya and Erbao heard the noise and ran out one after another. When they saw the things on the ground, their eyes widened in surprise.
Then, after seeing Yun Xi, the brother and sister visibly shrank, and a flash of fear flashed in their beautiful eyes.
A child of such a big age may not understand the disgust, but will instinctively reject and be afraid. Seeing the reaction of the two children, Li froze for a moment, obviously thinking of those things in the past.
The most calm one was Yun Xi. She smiled, picked up the bag of pastries, walked up to the two children, and reached out to touch their heads.
"Yaya and Erbao must be hungry. My sister-in-law bought this for you. Take it and eat it."
Neither of the two children reached out first, but both looked at Li. Li thought she bought it for herself, but obviously didn't expect that she would give it to the two children.
After thinking for a while, he said softly, "Since it belongs to my sister-in-law and you, then take it."
Mrs. Li said something, and the sweet smell of pastries wafted through their noses. The two children couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Erbao cautiously reached out and took it, and whispered, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
